Running gear comprises a 210 bhp (156 kW / 212 PS) 1,340 cc RPE-Suzuki engine, connected to a six-speed sequential gearbox and driving through a Quaife ATB differential. Braking is taken care of by 260 mm x 25 mm ventilated discs front and rear, while a high downforce rear diffuser should help to keep the thing on the tarmac.

Included in the specification is a track-day silencing kit, plus there’s a spares pack made up of different filters and a spare set of wheels shod with wet weather tyres.

The UK price for the Radical SR3 RS Limited is £49,850, including VAT. Colour choice is restricted to Rosso Red, Tangerine or Spice Yellow, all of which come with unique matt vinyl graphics.
